Reporter Fired For Taking A Dump On A Lawn While On Assignment

There are quite a few things you can do to get fired and apparently taking a sh*t on someone’s lawn is one of them. 

Jonathan Lowe, a reporter for CBS News affiliate KPHO in Phoenix, was on assignment covering the arrest of Patrick Zane Thompson, a former Arizona State University football player who sacrificed his family dog by breaking the animal’s neck and putting it in a smoker. According to Thompson, he was following God’s orders. 

It’s unclear whose orders Lowe was following when he decided to drop his pants around 3pm and relieve himself in front of one of the residences in the player’s neighborhood. 

“An onlooker from across the street called it in to officers,” Police Department spokeswoman Lisa Kutis said. “They approached him, he said he’d had to relieve himself, and they arrested him.”

Lowe was arrested and charged with one misdemeanor count of violating city code 11-1-30, “public urination or defecation.” He faces a fine of up to $2,500 or six months in jail. He was also fired.

I feel bad for the guy. He probably ate something terrible during lunch and ‘nature’ couldn’t wait. Poor guy!
